Shelden's BIG Bang made a tough decision re: Race #6. Please be advised that our new race date is AFTER Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic, which is scheduled to serve as our series finale and celebration. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ALL OPTIONS and will communicate when a decision (and any changes) are made.

❌Air Quality Index is "poor to unhealthy" and I'm feeling the effects of being outside less than 10 minutes
💯racer, volunteer, and vendor safety is #1 priority and they're still calling for thunderstoms and wind gusts on Saturday.
💯this was a difficult decision. But logistics in rescheduling, communicating, etc., is still less important than your SAFETY.
✅NEW RACE DATE: Sunday, October 25th. The weekend in between Peak 2 Peak and IceMan. Would be a nice warm up race.
✅All registered racers have been emailed. Would appreciate your sharing this and/or sharing with your racing friends.
